Subject: Morris Offspring: Must Come Down!UK Tour
Following last summer's extraordinary collaboration with Maple Morris:

MUST COME DOWN

Morris Offspring with Gavin Davenport, Becky Price, Matthew Keegan-Phipps, Nancy Potts and Debs Newbold

A joyful, energetic and unique celebration of the power and grace of English traditional dance. A reaffirmation that the tradition is alive and evolving. A exuberant spectacle of vitality and passionate dance wrapped in a cloak of beautiful music, stunning singing and heart-stopping stories.

This colossal collaboration brings a new generation of outstanding young morris dancers into the spotlight. It follows last summer's spectacle, in which Offspring joined forces with their North American counterparts, Maple Morris, to create new works featuring 35 brilliant young dancers, a very special storyteller and a unique cast of musicians.
